This is an introductory sentence or two before I state my thesis.
And now here comes my thesis statement, whittled down to one single sentence. My
thesis is that X is the case and Y is the case.

This is my main paragraph arguing that X is the case. "This
is one quote from the text arguing that X is the case (page #, line)."My
explication of what this quote is saying is that blah blah blah, which
supports the claim that X is the case."This
is yet another quote cementing the fact that X is the case (page, line)." What
this passage means is that blah blah blah, which supports my claim
that X is the case.

And this is my main paragraph arguing that Y is the case. "This
is one quote from the text arguing that Y is the case (page #, line)." My
explication of what this quote means is that blah blah blah, which
supports the claim that Y is the case. "And
here is yet another quote cementing the fact that Y is the case (page,
line)." What this passage means is that blah blah
blah, which supports my claim that Y is the case.

In this paragraph I just summarize what we have now seen about
X and Y. We can thus see in final summary that, repeating my thesis, X
is the case and Y is also the case.
